3M Ceramic Microspheres

Painted surfaces that are easy to wash and even scrub. Flat architectural paints with a smooth finish and an even sheen. In all these ways and more, 3M™ Ceramic Microspheres enhance durability and performance in a wide variety of architectural and industrial paints and coatings.

3M™ Ceramic Microspheres are high-strength solid engineered particles. In addition to helping manufacturers reduce costs and improve processability, these intrinsically hard fillers contribute functional, customer-pleasing properties to paint and coating formulations:
 

• Increase solids and reduce resin demand while maintaining desired properties
• Allow improved viscosity control
• May allow formulations with lower Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
• Scrub, burnish and sag resistance for longevity and improved paint performance
• Enhanced packing and higher filler loading to help reduce costs
• UV transparent down to 250 nm and radiation curable

To round off the list, 3M™ Ceramic Microspheres help additive manufacturing companies differentiate their products with the added consumer appeal of ceramic technology.
